Foreword, accessories
By now it’s quite clear that Acer wasn’t joking when they have acquired the Taiwanese company, E-TEN, which you might know for their glofiish series. E-TEN has never been considered as one of the best manufacturers, but in our region their handsets had quite good sales, and they still have. The reason for this is that the manufacturer found the quality level at which the handset doesn’t look like a cheap plastic clone, but it can still be sold at a low price. There is a quite large community now around glofiish handsets, the enthusiastic owners have tons of extras to put on their phones, this being one of the main reasons why they are still good nowadays.
During the Mobile World Congress in February we didn’t yet know what should we expect from Acer. We’ve seen that they’ve invested a lot of time and energy in the press conference held at Casa Batllo (by Gaudi), but the presentation was so dull that many have fallen asleep. I have to make a confession: I took it only until the first couple of announcements, so I’ve been quite surprised when after the dual-SIM DX900 (still sold under the E-TEN brand) we received the Windows Mobile combo handset X960, which is in fact the first real Acer phone, as it has given up all E-TEN customs (in design and software as well), which might even be a good thing from many points of view.
The handset has been provided by SpeedShop. thanks very much for them! We’re talking about a very new handset over here, it has been launched only this week, so the one I had for testing came in a white cardboard box. Unfortunately the list of accessories is quite short, Acer kept the habit of E-TEN, so we won’t get no leather case or screen protection foil for X960, we have to stick to the usual charger/data cable/headset trio, which is quite poor for a high-end device.
